About Us - Lang Li Lab

Welcome to the laboratory of Lang Li in the Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics (CCBB). The laboratory research focuses are translational biomedical informatics, pharmacometrics, pharmacogenetics, and system biology.
My translational biomedical informatics research focuses on drug-drug interaction (DDI) based literature discovery, electronic medical record based DDI validation, in vitro based DDI validation, and clinical trial based DDI validation. It is applied to both drug safety and drug repositioning research.
My pharmacometrics research focuses include: identify new drug interactions and their clinical implications; discover novel genetic and epigenetic factors in predicting drug metabolism and transportation, and develop physiologically based modeling system for drug exposure and drug effect prediction from either clinical trials or clinical practice. We use statistics, bioinformatics, mathematics, literature mining, and biology experiments to develop and validate our modeling system.
My pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics research focus on either candidate gene or genome-wide association studies for the drug response. Scientifically, we are interested in both cancer and cardiology related pharmacogenetics studies. Computationally, we are developing algorithms for clinical trial design and predictive signatures.
My system biology research focus is to identify static and dynamic networks for cancer molecular mechanisms, especially the estrogen signaling pathway. We are developing multiple modeling systems from the data consists of SNPs, gene expression, DNA methylation, histone modifications, transcription factors, and microRNA.
